The Toll of Karma
4. Sata:
The question now to be asked is when do the different karma starts to perform their part? Is it an instant process or it is developed by something else? To understand such questions, we have to understand the phenomenon which is known as Sata or existence. When an act has been performed does not matter whether it is good or bad, the Karma are performed. As soon as Karma are formed they do not give the results right away. The difference in time between their formation and their production of results is termed as time of existence of Karma or life of Karma.
Consider a chemical reaction Chemical A is converted into a chemical B by an enzyme E
Enzyme E
A
B
A will not be converted into B as it looks. The mechanisms of conversion is complex. First, A has to form a complex [AE], with enzyme E and then depending on the availability of this complex it will consequently dissociate into chemical B and enzyme E is then free to bind subsequently to another molecule of A to again form the complex AE.
